Caput nigrum, antice convexum, pro receptione scapi antennarum haud impressum, rugosum, 

 facie lateribusque pone oculos serieeis, Antennae vix siibtus medium oculorum insertae, longae (fere 

 longitudine totius corporis aequales), ornnino nigrae, scapo brevi. Palpi lufei. Thorax ferruginms, 

 rnesosferno tantum in medio nigro, valde scaber, mefathoracis lateribus areolatis, lateribus parteqxie 

 postica (pro receptione pedunculi abdominalis cahaliculafa) serieeis. Metasternum minimwn, apice 

 fisso. Petiolus abdominis piceus, oblique striatus. Abdomen parvum, compressissimum, elongato-ovale, 

 articulo basali subtus in angulum producta, lateribus versus dorsum serieeis. Alae hyalinae venis 

 distinctis, areola marginali subsemi-ovali, apice infero eurvato nec angulato. Pedes longi, nigri; 

 tibiae et tarsi antici picei."' 



Evania sericea Cameron, •) Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 191, 1883. 



„Black; palpi, knees, anterior tibiae, and tarsi obscurely fuscous. Head and thorax coarsely 

 rugose; petiole longitudinally rugose, sraoother at the base ; mesopleura in front smooth, shining, 

 impunctate, behind coarsely reticulated; breast covered with large shallow punctures. Coxae 

 finely rugose, smooth at base. Posterior femora not much longer than thorax; tibiae and tarsi 

 armed with short thick bristles; tarsi not much longer than tibiae, claws apparently simple. The 

 head, thorax and lege at the base are closely covered with a white velvety pubescence, which is 

 longest at the sides. Abdomen smooth, shining, compressed, shortly pilose at the sides. Antennae 

 longer than the body; the apex of scape brownish. Wings hyaline; cubital and discoidal cellules, 

 the Upper of which is not at all so broad in proportion to the lower as it is in E. laevigata; the 

 trausverse humeral nervure i» interstitial. The mandibles have two short obtuse teeth besides 

 the large apical one. Length 7 mm. 



This Speeles is apparently most nearly allied to E. tasmanica Westw., bat the present 

 Speeles has not the face longitudinally striated. — Hab. Oahu and Hawaii."

 tatum. Puncta quadriseriatim temporibus insertae. Genae longitudine scapi. Frons \
